2024 John Oxley Library Fellow

The 2024 John Oxley Library Fellowship was awarded to Dr John Willsteed for his project, Dive For Your Memory – Queensland music stories.

John's project will develop a methodology for extending engagement with oral histories in institutional collections. Its intention is to create new knowledge about music in Queensland. It will use the existing John Oxley Library collections, as well as adding to these collections by filming interviews with musicians from across the state.
